Our predicted date is Friday, October 9. This is when we
expect Aon plc to declare its next dividend, not when the stock goes
ex-dividend — we publish this estimate as early as about three months before the board is
expected to meet.
Aon plc pays dividends quarterly. We hold 161 payments for it, going back to January 1983 — the full record is below, with what it has paid and when, and how far ahead of each ex-date it declares. We don't publish a predicted next ex-dividend date for AON. As soon as the company declares one it will appear at the top of this page; until then the record below is what we hold.

Aon plc's dividend schedule
Aon plc has paid quarterly across the 43 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on August 3, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the last third of the month.
Across the 26 announcements we have on file, AON declares a dividend a median of 20 days before the shares go ex. That is roughly how much notice AON gives you before each ex-date, once its board declares. The cash then arrives about 14 days after the ex-date.
Increases have a season: of the 15 raises in our record, most take effect with the April payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 10.1%, effective with the May 2026 ex-date.
